Okay! I think I'm going to try this ... I'm thinking, for me, maybe a straw
instead of a toilet roll. Just a little too cumbersome for my hands. Murielle "Aaron Lewis" wrote in message et... see http://www.tradewindknits.com/tbctrbal.html Aaron |

I've already managed to wind a "centre pull" as instructed in the video and found it easy (after a couple of uneven starts). I needed a ball of wool I could use from both inside and out as I've been knitting some toy gingerbread men for a charity. They're only 3.5 inches tall and I needed to knit both legs at the same time using a ball of left-over yarn. That's been very helpful. Bernadette |

Will you be posting a link so we can see the pictures?... assuming you'll be taking pictures. Also, can I ask where you found the pattern for them, or is it something that you've created? *hugs* Gemini |

My wrist has taken longer to heal after this surgery so I've been slow to finish this project. Here is the link to the charity site. If you scroll to the bottom of the page you can download the pattern. It is written using UK terminology so you may need a translation - if I can help just yell! :-) There is an error in the "body and arms" section as well. The instruction "Starting with a P. row work 5 rows st.st," should read "work 4 rows". |

I don't know what a thrift store is :-( Second hand store, charity shop... Whatever they call them in your part of the world. It wasn't new, though it was ununsed. sue They're a source of very good bargains too suzee. I use the charity shops regularly. Last year I managed to get 4 x 400 gram cones of 4 ply (fingering weight) at 50 pence (about $1) each. There were 2 white, 1 pale blue and 1 navy blue - all brand new - so they've gone into my stash. It seems that when people are moving house they clear out cupboards and send all the stuff (new and used) off to the local charity shop. I wish they'd move more often ;-) Bernadette |
